Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

The mods of this space have clear biases and ban dissenting users.
They even made it against the rules to call out PTB on one of the biggest instances (.blahaj) because they don't actually care about allowing this space to be used to call out abuse.
Not really true, we just asked people to stop reporting about being banned from blajah over their no-gatekeeping policy, because otherwise we'd have 50 posts in this community about it by now. Rehashing the same topic over and over isn't good for anyone. If there is some other PTB issues on blajah then that is fair game.
All our bans are in the modlog, for all to see. And this removed comment OP mentioned wasn't removed by a mod of this community fyi, but by one of the instance admins because it comes across as antisemitic, presumably. But given the comments that were left intact, including the one calling Jordan a Zionist , what agenda or bias are you trying to suggest here?
Which instance?
lemmy.dbzer0.com?
Yes and I've asked the admin to explain the rationale. I'm pretty sure everyone on our admin team is anti-zionist, but any one of us would likely remove a comment that looks like straight up antisemitism. We aren't a freeze peach instance. If you meant something different then feel free to explain, perhaps we have all misinterpreted what you were trying to say?
My comment was responding to the original comment:
To which I replied indicating that American jews have been know to treat blacks poorly. A claim that about as easy to support with historical record as white christian racism against the blacks in the US.
I am not really sure how calling historical behavior by a group of people is antisemitism but server admin is server admin.
As I pointed out in another chain... it does not pass the switch the race test.
For example, today I called out British oppression of the Irish. Theoretically i generalized all british being savages but that comment did not generate any controversy or a censorship.
So your point was that historically some American Jews have acted in a racist way towards African Americans? I don't think there's anything wrong with saying there a history of racism there. But being a US Jewish person doesn't mean you are necessarily a racist, which is what you seemed to be implying in your comment.
And it seems so unnecessary, because presumably we've all read Jordan's interview where he was more concerned about being inconvenienced by BLM protests than he was concerned about racial injustices. That's peak liberal thinking right there, no reason for religion to come into it.
I wonder if he would get this "benefit of a doubt" if he was not a "liberal"... Let's say Tucker Carlson goes to say these things... w
That's implication added by others, not what I stated, nor intended. Jordan Lund might be a crypto racists though like many "good liberals" be
In what way am I giving him the benefit of the doubt? Peak liberal thinking was meant as a criticism lol. Refusing to address racial injustice because it's inconvenient, or because he says he lives in a "white area" like Portland so it's not a problem there, are both racist positions imo. He's obviously never stopped to wonder why Portland is so white, or he doesn't care. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/07/racist-history-portland/492035/
That's what most ppl thought you meant, so maybe the problem isn't with everyone else. But yeah, I'd agree with the last part.
Oregon was founded by white people who were so racists they did not want to be around blacks. That's why they went all the way across US to Oregon to settle.

Clearly a result of his surrounding.
Checks out
Why did you specify American jews, then? Historally, all Americans treated blacks poorly, as did all of europe. Why specify the jews while making no mention of the non-jews doing the same thing?
Everything else you said was just paper-thin excuses. Your comment was present tense, so it's not about history. Your claim in that other thread was disproven and you only said "lol" in response. Nobody is buying it because we know the actual reason you said your comment. And so do you.
because we are talking about BLM which is an american protest movement. because history i am referring to is specifically AMERICAN jews against AMERICAN blacks.
Why did you specify American jews? You're either very stupid or intentionally reading my comment wrong, because I explicitly said "why specify the jews" one line down.
Is Jordan Lund an American jew?
I don't know, and who the fuck cares. Why did you specify religion? Answer the question or shut the fuck up.
